North Korea’s supreme leader Kim Jong Un attended the grand opening of a luxury housing complex in the heart of Pyongyang, the nation’s capital. Thousands watched as the head of state ceremoniously cut a ribbon, despite reports claiming that some of the “prestige” penthouse apartments still lack hot water. Leading up to the publicity event, 600,000 North Korean citizens reportedly were removed from the city.

One day after meeting in Singapore, PresidentTrump and Kim Jong Un are touting their unprecedented summit as a major success on the road to improved relations between longtime enemies. But the lack of detail has left their joint statement open to interpretation and sparked debate on whether North Korea is serious about denuclearization. Nick Schifrin reports.

South Korea on May 1 began to remove loudspeakers set up at the demilitarised zone, its de facto border with North Korea, that had been used to broadcast propaganda messages into the North. It is one of the steps the two countries are taking to mend relations and work towards officially ending the Korean War. The moves come after a historic meeting between the leaders of North and SouthKorea on April 27, in which the leaders declared they would end decades of hostility and work towards peace and the complete denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula.

Korea was ruled byJapan from 1910 until the closing days of World War II. In August 1945, the Soviet Union declared war on Japan and—by agreement with the United States—occupied Korea north of the 38th parallel. U.S. forces subsequently occupied the south and Japan surrendered. By 1948, two separate governments had been set up. Both governments claimed to be the legitimate government of Korea, and neither side accepted the border as permanent. The conflict escalated into open warfare when North Korean forces—supported by the Soviet Union and China—invaded South Korea on 25 June 1950. On that day, the United Nations Security Council recognized this North Korean act as invasion and called for an immediate ceasefire. On 27 June, the Security Council adopted S/RES/83: Complaint of aggression upon the Republic of Korea and decided the formation and dispatch of the UN Forces in Korea. Twenty-one countries of the United Nations eventually contributed to the defense of South Korea, with the United States providing 88% of the UN's military personnel.

Since their debut, Red Velvet has experienced notable success and recognition. The group received their first ever music program win on Music Bank for "Ice Cream Cake" eight months after debut. In September 2015, they released their first full-length album The Red, which topped the Gaon Album Chart and the Billboard World Albums Chart. Red Velvet has received a total of eleven music awards (six for 'Ice Cream Cake' and five for 'Dumb Dumb'), including two awards for choreography; Best Dance – Female and Best Dance Performance – Female Group, as well as three new artist awards.

Red Velvet members are active as television personalities, most notably Irene as a host for Music Bank and Joy for her simulated marriage on the variety show We Got Married. Yeri was a past host for Music Core.

My life in North Korea vs South Korea

My life in North Korea vs South Korea

My life in North Korea vs South Korea

One year ago I went on a strictly guided 7 day-tour in North Korea where they took away my passport and did not allow me to explore anything on my own. North Korea was definitely the weirdest country I had ever visited and throughout that trip I kept wondering what life was like in the neighboring South Korea, because it used to be the same country just over 60 years ago.
To answer my questions, this year I traveled to South Korea and made this video, where I compare my time in the North and my time in the South. I still have a lot of questions about the whole situation, but one thing was clear - the daily lives of the Korean people couldn't be any more different than they are right now.

North Korea calls its luxury high-rises scarier than its nukes | New York Post

North Korea’s supreme leader Kim Jong Un attended the grand opening of a luxury housing complex in the heart of Pyongyang, the nation’s capital. Thousands watched as the head of state ceremoniously cut a ribbon, despite reports claiming that some of the “prestige” penthouse apartments still lack hot water. Leading up to the publicity event, 600,000 North Korean citizens reportedly were removed from the city.

Why North Korea's post-summit intentions are up for debate

One day after meeting in Singapore, PresidentTrump and Kim Jong Un are touting their unprecedented summit as a major success on the road to improved relations between longtime enemies. But the lack of detail has left their joint statement open to interpretation and sparked debate on whether North Korea is serious about denuclearization. Nick Schifrin reports.

South Korea to remove loudspeakers in demilitarised zone

Subscribe to our YouTube channel here: https://sc.mp/2kAfuvJ
South Korea on May 1 began to remove loudspeakers set up at the demilitarised zone, its de facto border with North Korea, that had been used to broadcast propaganda messages into the North. It is one of the steps the two countries are taking to mend relations and work towards officially ending the Korean War. The moves come after a historic meeting between the leaders of North and SouthKorea on April 27, in which the leaders declared they would end decades of hostility and work towards peace and the complete denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula.

My life in North Korea vs South Korea

One year ago I went on a strictly guided 7 day-tour in North Korea where they took away my passport and did not allow me to explore anything on my own. North Korea was definitely the weirdest country I had ever visited and throughout that trip I kept wondering what life was like in the neighboring South Korea, because it used to be the same country just over 60 years ago.
To answer my questions, this year I traveled to South Korea and made this video, where I compare my time in the North and my time in the South. I still have a lot of questions about the whole situation, but one thing was clear - the daily lives of the Korean people couldn't be any more different than they are right now.

Don't Call Us Joneses

I can smash a glass against the wall,pick up the pieces and we’re better for it.‘Cause you know everybody weds,then the beast can mow the lawn,and the queen can feed the kids.And we’ll be better for it.I’m not impressed, suburbia.Could you do a little better for me?I’m gonna smile ‘till my teeth ache,I am determined for my family’s sake.Happily married like the rest of them,I’m better ‘cause I buy American.I’m not impressed suburbia.
